- Thank you to our patron Cynthia for these wonderful choices from The Band.... both tracks were awesome! And it was awesome to finally hear a studio track from these guys. They are SO good. I can't believe how underrated these guys are these days. No one in my generation knows who these guys are and its a shame... this was awesome! I've enjoyed The Last Waltz so much.

The Band called Garth Honey Boy cause his organ added the honey to the song.
i totally see why, cynthia! he adds so much to every song i've heard by them. thank you for these picks!
The Band is not overlooked and under appreciated by anyone who has the ears to really appreciate good music and talent.
Garth's parents put him through grad school as a music student... He took $5 a month from the other band members so he could tell his parents he was working as a music teacher.
hahaha thats awesome. what a 5d chess move.
"Robbie looks so young here." What's startling about that statement is that this was The Band's farewell concert.
"Robie looks so young here" - The Last Waltz happened in 1976, Robbie was 33.
Ronnie Hawkins started his band The Hawks in Arkansas in the mid 1950s, and Levon was the drummer. Country/rockabilly singer Conway Twitty told Ronnie that there were lots of gigs available up in Ontario, and Ronnie moved his base of operation to Toronto. Over time, most of the other Hawks became homesick for Arkansas and went back home, but Ronnie and Levon stayed in Toronto and hired local musicians to replace the guys who'd left - those replacements were Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel and Garth Hudson, so The Hawks were now made up of the guys who became The Band. They eventually left Ronnie at the end of 1963 to go out on their own, backing up Bob Dylan before eventually putting out their own music.
Ronnie carried on in Toronto and hired other musicians for The Hawks, and several of them became well-known in their own right, ranging from members of Janis Joplin's Full Tilt Boogie Band to Crowbar to David Foster. Ronnie was almost as much of a Canadian music institution as Gordon Lightfoot, and he was a colourful character with an R-rated un-PC sense of humour - when he first hired Robbie Robertson, he told him, "Well, son, you won't make much money, but you'll get more p***y than Frank Sinatra". He also demanded the best from his musicians - Robertson referred to his time as a Hawk as The Ronnie Hawkins Boot Camp Of Rock & Roll.
The Band's songwriting points up how stories are so much more interesting to listen to than love songs.
Robbie Robertson really had stage fright, to the point where he couldn't perform concerts, and was cured of it by a hypnotist.
Interesting. I always thought this was about Dylan.Thx.
@@rorystorm4284 When The Band was to perform their first concert at Winterland in San Francisco, he got sick, he did have a fever, he had burned himself out getting ready for the concert, as a last resort he agreed to see a hypnotist. He did wonder if stage fright over their first concert had something to do with it. He wasn't exactly cured, he did manage to play some songs, but a short set, the next day he felt better.
The Last Waltz version of Stage Fright is pretty compelling as well.
Thanks for a morning dose of Sreamin Ronnie Hawkins, we lost him two years ago.
Rick Danko is a great singer, and a great bass player. I think the best performance at The Last Waltz is "It Makes No Difference", sung heartbreakingly by Danko. Another unforgettable performance is "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", sung powerfully by the great Levon Helm (drums).
For more GUEST songs at the Last Waltz, I'd recommend Clapton's "Further On Up The Road", and Muddy Waters "Mannish Boy". Both are amazing performances, and The Band demonstrates just how great they were at backing other artists! (L33, stick with this Film! Every song/interview is awesome!)
I'm partial to Dr. John's such a night.
That rhythm is known as “the Bo Diddley Beat”. Bo was a major influence on the early rockers. The Stones, the Dead, Quicksilver & many others covered him. I used to listen to Stage Fright before arguments in court. It always fired me up.✌️❤️🎶
I was looking for someone who said this so I could like their comment, haha! Lee, you need to hit the Bo Diddley version of this some time.
Bo Diddley also made his own guitars.
Ronnie Hawkins and his song "Down in the Alley" was the first straight blues song that I heard. I was blown away. There was a young slide guitar player on that song by the name of Duane Allman.
well damn, that's all you have to say! i'm in there! lol
Robbie Robertson sold his guitar when he was 15 to buy a train ticket from Toronto to Arkansas to try out for Ronnie Hawkins’ band The Hawks. He got the job.
There's a great scene in Festival Express where everyone's pretty much wasted in one of the train cars and Janis Joplin is hitting heavy on a shy / embarrassed Rick Danko while Jerry Garcia is apparently fruitlessly hitting on her. So much human-ness.
The Band and Little Feat are both top notch bands which describe north American sound from New Orleans to Canada.
Feat's live video "Spanish Moon" is perfection with the tremendous support of Tower of Power. Hope this channel plays it. Rocks my soul.
Lowell George is so important.
Feat's "Willin' " is unmatchable and always first choice for road trip-playlist.
A little coke probably helped with the energy. In fact a few hours before the show started, Robbie wrote in his book, how he had gone back to the hotel, and tried to take a nap, "I felt strangely alone, why was I drifting off to a dark place now" He felt totally exhausted and realized he had been forward with the help of drugs instead of proper nutrition and sleep. He couldn't sleep, took a cold shower, his wife brought him some food, and it was time to go. Adreline is powerful. I recommend his book, so much information in there.
By the time this album came out Robbie was dealing with 3 heroin addicts (Rick, Levon and Richard) there were car crashes, Rick had an almost fatal one, which left him in pain for the rest of his life, and probably contributed to his lifelong drug addiction. Robbie became the caretaker and he was exhausted, he was married with small children.
I never knew that. Too much for one person, and yet he was one of the hardest working guitarist to perfect his craft! No wonder he was burned out by the time The Last Waltz came out.
@@ChasBeauregarde In Robbie's book he wrote after the last song I stepped up to microphone, and with my last ounce of energy said" Thank You, Good Night and Goodbye". Ronnie Hawkins who hired Robbie at 16, said he worked harder than anybody. So many on social media blame Robbie for breaking up The Band, Levon did as well, and Levon's fans side with him and hate Robbie, they don't know the whole story. I read Robbie's books as well as Barney Hoskyns biograhpy of The Band, it gives you a more complete picture. Robbie was no angel, but he didn't do heroin and he would be up in the morning writing songs, while the others were nowhere in sight. By the time of The Last Waltz Robbie had 3 children under the age of 6 or 7. Hoskyns also wrote in his book "if 16 years on the road didn't kill him The Last Waltz might. Of course it was his idea so the majority of the responsibility fell on his shoulders.
Robbie was someone wrote were 33, he had been on the road almost half of his life, he had written some incredible songs, met many famous muscians, were married and had 3 young children, he had already lived a lifetime.
I have the dvd of The Last Waltz and never tire of watching it. Wanted to suggest whenever you return to SRV that you watch the video of him performing "Look at Little Sister" on, I think...Austin City Limits...maybe. Anyway, two things stand out in this performance, first the highlight of keyboardist Reese Wynans and how Stevie handles a broken string on his guitar. SO worth the watch! And remember...reaching 30 is the best age decade of them all.
This was the first single they all appeared on -- 1961! Ronnie was the front man; they backed him for 6 yrs I think.
On other songs they trade instruments. Rick can play the violin, Levon mandolin, Richard's play piano and drums. They were all so multitalented. However, Robbie was the major songwriter, Rick, Levon and Richard the 3 singers.
Please watch Rick Danko singing Robertson’s “It Makes No Difference” in The Last Waltz. Absolutely amazing.
Brings tears to your eyes. Probably the best heartbreak song ever, and I'm not the only one that thinks that.
Up on cripple creek is a must.
You should do The Stage Freight from The Last Waltz, where you can see Rick as he sings. You can see his nervous energy, and they way Scorsese filmed it is just magical.
I saw them at the Day On The Green #2 & 3 at the Oakland Coliseum, which featured Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, The Band, Joe Walsh, Jesse Colin Young (July 13 & 14, 1974). They were awesome and so everyone else. Damn they were loud!!
I saw The Band with Dylan live at the Isle of Wight festival in 1969. Here we have Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks reincarnated. Hawkins was always a wild man on the rock scene. The Stage Fright album was produced by the great Todd Rundgren. He's worth a listen too.
Absolutely about Todd. From power pop to prog Todd and Utopia were a force to be reckoned with!
Great reaction, but, ( there's always a but isn't there ) if you want to hear the definitive version of " Who Do You Love ", you have to listen to the version by Quicksilver Messenger Service from their " Happy Trails " album. 16 minutes of Bo Diddley beat can't be beat! 😎🤠👍
Don't forget The Blues Project (led by Al Kooper) take on "Who Do You Love." Bo Diddley was a bad, bad man.
Good for you loving The Band...
Caught the last version of The Band in Orange Park (Jacksonville, Fl) 1986...without Robbie. Loved him but I was much more a Levon girl. A dump of a club but SRO... standing room only. It was wonderful and bittersweet as I had been a freshman at university 1968...when they dropped "Big Pink"...and the ear worm " Chest Fever"lives forever in my head.
BTW young man, it's pronounced Lee-Von.
That week they were in Winter Park (Orlando) and Richard Manual suicided in a motel room.
Jeez..No.
THE Band, one of the best of the best, and they are the masters of whatever they play. Never got to see them live, but I have seen Garth Hudson and Levon Helm at different shows. RIP to Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, Levon Helm and Ronnie Hawkins.
And Robbie now, too.
Can't keep up. Unfortunately. RIP Robbie Robertson.
1976...I was in San Fran for a few months when this concert came around. As I recall tickets were 100 or 120 bucks. It was several nights and the paper said dinner was served one of the nights. I was working my way up to Alaska (I got there) and was tight with my money and just couldn't justify the expense in my mind. I've kicked myself ever since. I had to settle for the album when it was released.
The show was originally planned to be in Oakland, I bought 2 tickets the moment they went on sale for $30 each.
Then the show was moved to Winterland, the roster of guest performers announced, dinner added and the $30 tickets were honored at the door.
Sweet.
I'd be happy to join the forehead smacking moment with you....
Was 17 and had just moved up the Peninsula to The City.
Thought it was W A Y to much $!🙄
Though considering my gross mo. salary was $420 & rent 125; $30 *was* steep
Just realised I have my Bob Dylan and The Band T shirt on! Oct 15th 8pm London England 1966 tour :D Brilliant picks, Cynthia!
They also did Stage Fright at The Last Waltz.
That version is better, and I love watching Rick singing, his nervous energy on full display. The way Scorsese filmed it is magical, when the light hits Rick's face.
@@hannejeppesen1809 I totally agree!
"It Makes No Difference" is a Stellar song sung by Rick Danko.
The last waltz version is even better
In fact, All of their songs sound better on The Last Waltz.😊.
Amazing Movie!!
Great Band!
This is an example of the influence of the sound of a fast-moving train clicking down the tracks. A small gap is left between the steel rails on train tracks to allow for heat expansion. This results in a repeating click-clack sound. Traveling musicians heard this all the time. Bo Diddley was one who used it to great effect.
When you’re cool you can get away with just walking off the stage! Love Stage Fright, it’s not one you hear as often.
At the beginning of the video, Ronnie Hawkins looks stage left and calls out "Big Time Bill, Big Time, Big Time!" He's poking fun at the legendary promoter and owner of Winterland, Bill Graham. Bill had once asked him if he'd play there. Ronnie said no, to which Graham replied "If you never play Winterland, you'll never make the big time." So, Ronnie couldn't resist ribbing him a little when he finally walked onto the Winterland stage to honor his old friends.
My favorite part of that performance is how overjoyed the members of the Band look at being onstage again with their old boss. People say he drove them hard to become the best they could be and they became so good that Eric Clapton actually quit Cream and went to see the boys to ask if he could join the Band but he chickened out because he thought he wasn't good enough to even ask them. THAT'S how good the Band was.
L33, note "russallert 1" comment and you will know "The Hawk" notice how he commands the Boys and was so instrumental in their development in to becoming "THE" Band like no other. Your right they were so underappreciated over time but any true person who knows his music will agree with me. Pure talent.
I may have mentioned this before, but there is a movie with The Band and The Dead and Janis Joplin and one of them old blues dudes, I can’t remember his name right now, because I suck. Whats really cool is seeing Janice and Rick Danko and Jerry and Bobby hanging out drinking and tripping, interacting in the train that they took across Canada on the tour.❤
There is a lot more from the Last Waltz you need to do including Dr John.
Ronnie Hawkins hired Robbie as a guitar player when Robbie was 16 years old. Robbie had been hanging around them and when he heard Ronnnie needed some songs Robbie went home and wrote 2 songs (he was 15) which Ronnie recorded. Shortly after Ronnie hired Robbie, then Rick Danko. Levon Helm was already part of Ronnie Hawkins band, shortly after the other 2 members of what was to become The Band was hired. I agree with you about Robbie, I'm a huge fan, his songs, his guitar playing, his looks back then and his charisma he had it all. Rick Danko is another favorite of mine from The Band, he had such and endearing personality, and when he sings he pours all his heart and soul into it. You might enjoy reading Robbie's book "Testimony", it is fascinating, and tells how The Band evolved and also gives a good insight into the crazy sixties, my generation. Robbie was 32 or 33 at The Last Waltz.
Best Band Ever!!!!
The Band was The night hawks and they were called Ronnie Hawkins and the night hawks. Later they became Dylan’s band.
ahhhh well that makes sense. thank you. i was wondering what all that was about lol
The Band started as aRonnie Hawkins snd the Hawks. They were the Hawks. They moved on to Bob Dylan. Then went off on their own in 1968.
The concert was Thanksgiving 1976 so ages were:
Robbie: 33
Rick: 32
Richard: 33
Levon: 36
Garth: 39 (at 86, he is the final survivor)
Nice live performance covering an old Bo Diddley tune. Really liked 'Stage Fright'.
what a name... bo diddley.
In the movie cut scene before his number, Hawkins talked about offering Robbie his first job playing guitar, "I told him there wont be much money but you'll get more women than Frank Sinatra."
He didn't say "women"
@@Cheryworld no, he didn't... I paraphrased.
In another interview Ronnie added "and he did". I'm not surprised with Robbie's looks, killer smile and charisma, and he was a rock star on top of that.
So dang cool!!!!!!!
Nice reactions to the Band. They were the Hawks touring w Ronnie Hawkins before becoming Dylan's back up band when he went electric + toured the world. One highly recommended song is "Don't Do It" live from Rock of Ages LP. Motown tune owned by The Band, check it out.
Ronnie and The Hawks would play at Tony Mart's in Somers Point NJ. You could hear the bands across the bay in Ocean City. I was too young to go.
Stage fright Produced and engineered by Todd Rundgren.
i didn't catch that. todd was everywhere!!
@@L33Reacts Todd was fresh off leaving The Nazz and was quick at learning around the studio so he was hired as an engineer for Bearsville Records which was started by Albert Grossman- manager of Bob Dylan and The Band among others. Supposedly he was bored by their "old man country rock" and challenged the group to better so much that his methods caused Levon Helm to chase him around the studio :D
Did i miss SRV Sunday?? What happened to it? Lol ive been checking all day✌️💞
At the same concert - you should listen to Eric Clapton singing Further On Up The Road
I’ve never seen anyone react to The Basement Tapes yet- you should check it out! The Band’s legendary lost 1967 home recordings with Dylan from the basement of their Woodstock house called “Big Pink”. Also the live version of this song from The Last Waltz is fire, but you should really do “It Makes No Difference” 🎸💥
big pink stuff might be coming down the pipeline, i dont know yet. but i hope so!
There is a great version of "Who Do You Love" that I spin on vinyl by George Thorogood & the Destroyers, it is so gritty. Give it a listen sometime Lee.
Like most 'live' recordings , Robbie re-recorded his guitar solos , the only one that didn't was Ronnie Hawkins , with him , on drums and vocals , what you hear is what you get ! He refused any overdubs . But still , The Band was incredible !
I love this version!
Listen to the Doors live version of Who Do You Love and GLORIA!
FYI: Ronnie was the first person to do The Moonwalk years before Michael Jackson made it famous.
If you ever circle back to The Band they had a fun song called "Life is a Carnival" that's worth a listen. Not sure if it's a title cut from one of their later albums?
Please react to Dylan singing Forever Young & Baby let Me Follow You Down from THE LAST WALTZ. The band was Dylan's back up band when he went electric. They toured together in 1974 and released the live LP from that tour called Before The Flood.
hawkins had a voice and personality for rock and roll. bet his concerts were fun.
Saw him many times in Toronto in the 80's. Great times!
The Band was with Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks before they were Bob Dylan’s band. That’s Ronnie with the cowboy hat.
The Band had a cadre of great collaborators and Scorsese is a great filmmaker. Wonder what was left on the editing floor.
one can only imagine what they left out. i want to just watch the whole movie now!
Some one will know the full story. One of the Kennedy children was sent to live with Ronnie Hawkins.
Great tracks. Gotta check out the Bo Diddly original. Foundational pioneer. Influenced literally everyone. Garth played many instruments with magical qualities. If you hear something and you can’t figure out what it is. It’s Garth.
The Band started out as Ronnie Hawkins Backup band before they switched to Dylans, that why they call them selves the band.
They got their starr with Ronnie Hawkins.
Do "It Makes No Difference".
Need to see Dylans set
later in the Last Waltz, Eric Clapton does Further on up the road, he and Robbie trade licks.
Magic when those 2 guitar hero's go at it.
Check out Ronnie Hawkins early videos and his later song, Old man comes home from the forest.
Have to do the Dylan stuff from Waltz
i really want to. i've been itching to see/hear them with him.
Listen to Quicksilver Messenger Service, Who Do You Love, Happy Trails album! How do you love, When do you love....
You gotta do some Bo
The Last Waltz was The Band's farewell show to its audience. They filmed this last concert at Winterland in San Francisco on Thanksgiving. The purchased ticket included a Thanksgiving dinner after which they had a small orchestra for ball dancing. Then was the show full of guests which were not previously confirmed so the public did not know for sure who else would be on. The Band was formed in Canada accidentally. They were replacement players picked one at a time as needed for an American band from Alabama called The Hawks, lead by Ronnie Hawkins in the early 60s. Once Ronnie realized he lost the band to the new guys who were natives, he returned to Alabama. Levon Helm the only American that stayed sort of took over and they became Levon and the Hawks. So that's their first guest and Who Do You Love is the song they played together.
they sure did... i need to hear the dylan/the band stuff now. honestly, i just want to watch the whole thing at this point. i might as well. lol
Worth it
They played for him.......Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks.
Ronnie Hawkins HIRED the members of The Band back in the late '50s to be his backing band, The Hawks. In fact, except for Levon Helm who he hired out of Arkansas, Hawkins' band was the first professional job for each of them.
ahhhhhh ok. thank you for the info. i love learning all of this stuff lol
The Band are not underrated! They’re my “Beatles”. Ronnie was an institution in Southern Ontario. My first ever legal drink was in a Ronnie Hawkins owned bar in London, Ontario, Canada, in 1975.
Peace
Robbie would have been 33 here.
Ronny Hawkins didn't sing for The Band. The Band played for him.
the level of coked-outness achieved by Rick and Robbie is truly astonishing.
Don't forget about Neil Young.
Love Stagefright. Prefer The Last Waltz version.
I agree, watching Rick singing is magical.
